UPDATE: Spring 2021 was amazing: I met over 140 families while shooting for newborns, families, branding and school portraits! I took a summer break and planned to come back in full swing for Fall Mini Sessions. BUT… our family has made some major life-changing decisions that changed the course of those plans.
 
…which leads me to my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
 
Three weeks ago, my family and I relocated to Dallas, Texas!!!
😱😭🥺🤩😢🤠😯😱

I know, it’s HUGE and so sudden (even for us!). I am overwhelmed and have felt the full gamut of emotions from pure adrenaline-rushing excitement to deep and heart-wrenching grief.  I’m so thankful for this past year of getting to work with families from LA to San Diego - I seriously have had the best clients and supporters!!! 😭😭😭

This is not goodbye! I will be traveling back and forth between Dallas and Pasadena, so I hope to still be photographing in Southern California. Let's stay in touch!! But, for now if you know anyone in the Dallas area looking for a photographer, hit me up! Until we meet again...

xoxo, Judy

Hi there! 👋 I’m Judy! SO awkward to be in front of the lens 😅...but here’s me trying to act casual and effortless when it’s anything but. Lol. Anyways, all the effort is for YOU! I wanted to pop in to say HELLO and show the face behind the camera (or mask). I hope I get to see some of your faces soon and thank you so much for all your support.

(FYI I'll be posting less this summer to spend more time with the family) See you soon! 😊❤️

Congrats to 2021 graduates!!

I absolutely loved photographing this senior. We didn’t have a plan during this session and just had fun. Here's just a few from the session.

I'm so blown away by his massive creative talent, but even more by his passion and character. So proud to know him, and excited to see where he will go with Jesus leading him. Go stream BOBA THE ARTIST on Spotify and other streaming platforms now!! :)

When I had my first baby, I remember how time and events seem to overlap and crash into each other. There was no end and no beginning to a day during the newborn stage. It felt like groundhogs day, but squeezed into 3 hour increments. Mornings seemed like nights - time simply escaped me. I ate at 3AM and sleep was snoozes stolen on couches and chairs. Everything was backward, and then forward, and then sideways. It was a blur.

But in this blur, I felt the rise and fall of your chest against mine. In this blur, I memorized the rhythm of your breaths. In this blur, I found that smiles could heal.

In this blur, I fell in love.

It's all in the details.

“Judy, how do you do it all?", "You're a super mom!"

Once in a while, I’ll get comments like this and while they are usually meant to be compliments, I cringe E V E R Y T I M E. I get it, on Instagram, the optics look good - I am doing well juggling 3 young kids, home life, a small business, marriage, and more.

But it's just not true.

I am FAR from that. Last year was SO INCREDIBLY TOUGH. So many tears. Many times, so overwhelmed, I wanted to quit everything. I want to do everything well, but often, it feels like I'm not doing anything well at all. I felt guilty I'm not playing more with my kids. I felt guilty that I spend nights working instead of winding down with my husband, like we use to do. I felt guilty that I'm not doing more to improve my craft/business. At my lowest, I felt guilt in E V E R Y area.

But it was also at those lowest moments, that I was forced to surrender it all, come to embrace myself and my shortcomings. I just want to be real: it's not easy, things are far from perfect, and I've dropped the ball many times on many fronts.

📸: My son took this picture of me unbeknownst to me during a low moment. You can see the exasperation and exhaustion on my face. It reminds me that I am not a super mom and I don't want to be one. I want to be in need of help. I don’t want to handle it all. Because in my weakness, I am found. In my weakness, His strength is shown. In my weakness, friendships are strengthened. In my weakness, I am accepted (and find out I have been all along). I cannot and would not trade that for anything.
